Aldermaston Road, Sherborne St. John, Basingstoke, RG24 9LA

Set on Aldermaston Road in Sherborne St John, this two-bedroom house blends character detail with a bright, social layout. The front door opens into a welcoming living room where an exposed brick chimney breast frames a wood-burning stove. The the leaded window draws soft light across the wood-effect floor. Shelving and cabinetry flank the fireplace to create practical display and storage.

The room flows through to a full-depth kitchen/dining space arranged at the rear. Shaker-style cabinets with warm wooden worktops sit beneath discreet downlights, and a stainless-steel range and splashback add a contemporary note. A rooflight and wide glazed doors flood the room with daylight and open the space to the garden, making the dining area an easy place to gather. Stairs rise from here to the first floor.

Outside, the garden feels private and easy to maintain, with a paved terrace for seating, a neat lawn and raised planters set against painted fencing. It reads as an extra room in warmer months, with level access straight from the kitchen.

Upstairs, a central landing serves two bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom presents a calm, neutral scheme and a wall of timber-fronted wardrobes with traditional ironmongery. The second bedroom suits guests, a study or nursery. The bathroom sets a white suite against light tiling, with a shower over the bath and chrome fittings for a clean finish.

Double-glazed windows, the wood-burner and radiators contribute to everyday comfort, and the layout shown on the floorplan confirms an easy, everyday flow from front door to garden.
